26,000 breath tests net 139 drink drivers

IT'S been a case of so far so good, when it comes to celebrations on the Coast, with revellers managing to keep behaviour in check.

Statewide figures show police have been extremely active, conducting more than 26,000 RBTs in the first three days of the Christmas Holiday Period crackdown, nabbing 139 drink drivers since December 23.

As for the Coast, the seaside destinations always prove popular with holidaymakers, and the festive mood, alcohol, and the water are often ingredients for trouble.

But not so far this holidays, according to Sunshine Coast Water Police Senior Constable Murray Lyons.
